OPERATION OF CONTROL CODES

When the paper-out detector is enabled by setting the DIP switch, the

following control codes will be changed as shown below:

1.

< FF > (Form Feed)

This command sets the paper into the printer. It ejects any paper set in

the printer when the Automatic Sheet Feeder is empty.

2.

< LF > (Line Feed)

If a line feed operation results in going over the page length, the next

sheet of paper is fed in to the printer.

3.

< VT > (Vertical Tab)

This command functions as a line feed operation.

4. Vertical tab position setting command

This command is ignored.

5. Page length setting command

The page length setting is ignored, and is set to the paper size in actual

use.

When the paper-out detector is disabled by setting the DIP switch, the

control codes will be function normally.

The Automatic Sheet Feeder is designed to withstand long use with high

reliability. We ask users to regularly remove any dirt or dust from the Au-
